Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. (NYSE: FDP) announces plans to introduce its Rubyglow® pineapple in Europe in early 2025, following successful launches in China (January 2024) and North America (May 2024). This red-shelled pineapple, developed over 15 years, features a red outer skin, bright yellow flesh, and a sweet flavor similar to Del Monte Gold® Extra Sweet pineapples.

The Rubyglow® pineapple is grown in Costa Rica and takes two years to cultivate. It's a hybrid fruit produced through traditional crossbreeding of a traditional pineapple and a Morada pineapple. The seed supply and intricate cultivation process contribute to its global scarcity.
